Tigers purchased the contract of OF Matt den Dekker from Triple-A Toledo.

Den Dekker is a .236/.318/.359 hitter at the major league level but has a solid glove. He could get some starts in center field. Jun 23 - 5:08 PM

Tigers signed OF Matt den Dekker to a minor league contract; assigned him to Triple-A Toledo.

Den Dekker was granted his release by the Marlins last week and it didn't take him long to find a new opportunity. The 29-year-old was batting .247/.280/.481 with three home runs and 13 RBI in 20 games this season at the Triple-A level. He'll provide some depth across the outfield with his new team.

Daniel Norris (groin) is scheduled to begin a minor league rehab assignment Wednesday with Triple-A Toledo.

Norris, who's been sidelined since July 6 with a groin strain, is expected to make at least three appearances in the minor leagues. He holds a 5.29 ERA and 1.67 WHIP in 85 innings (16 starts) this season with Detroit.

Aníbal Sanchez left Wednesday's game against the Rangers with left hamstring tightness.

He lasted just 47 pitches, allowing five hits and four runs over 2 1/3 innings of lackluster work. The severity of his injury is unknown. Sanchez probably won't be missed if he lands on the disabled list. He's compiled a miserable 6.95 ERA over 22 appearances including 11 starts this season.
